After she'd left him swimming, it took William longer than he'd like to get back to shore. By the time, he pulled himself onto the rock near his clothes, he was shivering from cold and fear.
Luckily no one saw him as he ran to the stables where to pull a blanket around him and sit on the small cot. He made some coffee and finally felt dry enough to get dressed again, but he wasn't sure if he was ready to go back to the Bar yet.
She just reeled him in so easily, he'd tried to resist but it hadn't done any good and any time she wanted, she could drown him. Then he'd be dead in Milliways without even a body for his family to bury. He shivered with fear and almost tears before pulling the blanket around him.
Sooner than he thought, he slept but fitfully, waking up from nightmares of drowning and gunfights and deaths he couldn't stop. He had to find a way around her as he couldn't avoid the lake forever.
